Roundabouts

Especially in newly constructed roundabouts, tire marks and chips on the curb of the inner circle bear witness to the numerous accidents involving even drivers familiar with the area. This is caused not only by the unexpected new traffic situation, but also by glare from the light islands that are usually located in front of pedestrian crossings.

In this lighting situation, Beckstone helps to draw attention to the inner roundabout, which is particularly dark due to vegetation. In addition to its warning effect, the appropriate arrangement of lights also helps to guide traffic in the right direction.

In addition, lighting the curb makes it easier for bus and truck drivers to assess the rear traffic area and prevents them from driving over the inner circle with their rear axle.

In most structural situations, Beckstone can also be retrofitted cost-effectively by installing two inclined rows of paving stones without interfering with the existing building fabric. The installation costs are significantly lower than the costs for typical planting and are amortized after a short time due to the extremely low energy consumption, the fact that no light bulbs need to be replaced, or simply by the first accident that is avoided!

With regard to European CO2 protection measures, Beckstone already has you prepared for the EU ban on incandescent light bulbs. We are happy to provide you with tips and technical drawings for the wide range of installation options in roundabouts.
